Abstract:
Initializing a data structure for use in predicting table of contents (TOC) pointer values. A request to load a module is obtained. Based on the loaded module, a pointer value for a reference data structure is determined. The pointer value is stored in a reference data structure tracking structure, and used to access a variable value for a variable of the module.
